WV Podunk Rides #6

From the Cass Rally last Memorial weekend. Nice weekend, Dad and I took it extremely easy. Met a bunch of great folks and put a face to rocketman. We took the observation route they had marked off, other than that we took the Green Bank tour. We sat through a film before the bus ride, I hit the AC and passed right out. Once we got on the bus, I didn't last 5 minutes.

Planned on staying till Monday morning. I took a nap and Dad shook the tent saying rains on the way, "lets leave." So we left. Good times

Here's some supporting shots...

Vincent

Mac,

Thanks for the additional pics of the Vincent. What an incredible classic! If that's your dad's scoot he is a very lucky guy. I can only dream about riding a 60 year old motorcycle to a rally.

Looking forward to your next WVA Podunk Ride.

Pete
 
The greenbank tour was pretty neat I thought. When I was there two summers ago we stayed at the Cass Rail Road.

On my way to Logan three weeks ago I let the GPS do the driving and wouldn't you know it I have now been to Ravenswood WV! As I came through town I looked for your bike but I didn't see it.

In two weeks my brother and I will be taking our anual trip. On about day three of the trip we will be in Huntington heading south. We'll start on Rt 10 and I plan to take him through Wayne county and around East Lynn. :sick No, the roads are great but they can make one a bit sea sick...

I am considering adding Senneca Rocks as a destination. If so we'll ride through Marlinton and probably stop for the greenbank tour.

Hey right on rspennachio, I'm a few miles outside of town on Rt 56, exactly a mile off of I77.

If you hit up Seneca Rocks, there's riding galore around the area. Back roads and even the main arteries are fabulous.
